sWINDLING INSURANCE COMPANIES.
How They Are Organized in Indiana. and
Their Dishonest System of Operation.

The Auditor Of States idea in regard to grave
yard insurance companies is such as to promise
"a great deal of trouble for those organizations.
He is about to overhaul the statements that
have been filed in his Office with his predecessors
for several years past, and hereafter to investi-
gate closely every report that comes from these
companies. The action of the Michigan author

many of the companies into this State, and the
Auditor says the Indiana insurance laws give but

London Notes.

LONDON, March 29.-In the house of
commons Gladstone's speech this after
moo is being widely commented upon as
an effective exposure of the feebleness of
the governments reasons for demanding
coercion. The strength of his reasoning
is admitted by the Conservatives, and felt
keenly by the U%nionist- Liberals, more of
whom threatened to secede unless the CO.
ercion bill be reduced to simple provisions
against boycotting and the plan of cam
paign.
The Conservatives already talk of drop
ping the proposals relating to the transfer
jury trials. especially since Unionist papers
in the provinces declare them u~ntenanta-
Bile.
Michael Davitt, presiding at u meeting
OF the National League at Dublin, to-
night, said the very %stringency of the Bal
four measure appeared to him to be a IA
vorable feature. He was not prepared to
say what it might be necessary for Irish
manhood to do when naked tyranny
reigned in Ireland.

Nearly one hundred men, receiving sala-
ries from $50 to 1928 per month, will be
thrown out of employment by the aband-

to be one Of the first visible effects Of

Youthful Travellers.

P%rrrsBURd, March 29.-Two small
travellers, who had no one to look after
them, attracted special attention at the
Union station this morning. One was
named Emil Borck, 10 years Of age, and
the other Gussie Borck, 3 years of age.
Attached to the coat of the older boy was
a card on which was written the address
of the father, j. G.. Borck, Of No. "a
Third avenue, New York, to whom the
children were being sent. The story OF
the elder boy was that his mother had left
her home and taken her two children to
San Francisco. There she left them and
they were taken charge of by benevolent
people, who placed them in an orphan
asylum. Their father heard where the y
we're and sent for them. They had trav-
eled all the way from California to this
place alone, en- route to New York.

Invited by officers of many railroad COM
panies to the interstate commerce act,
inquiring how far those provisions,
which they have deemed restrictive of
free travel, affect persons or employees of
the postal service. The correspondence
has almost universally contained express
sions of willingness to continue facilities
heretofore afforded unless such course be
in contravention of the law. In order to
obtain a satisfactory exposition of this
point. the opinion of the attorney general
was solicited, whether there be anything
in the act which prohibits the practices
heretofore prevailing. The attorney gen
erals opinion is that the interstate act
does not affect the postal service, but is in
regulation of commerce only.
